INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Adelphi!

As a new graduate or adult student, please know that Adelphi University is committed to assisting your transition to this exciting education experience. Whether you are attending the main campus in Garden City or at one of the University’s other centers in Hauppauge, Manhattan or the Hudson Valley—or perhaps your classes are online—we welcome you to the Adelphi community of scholars.

This handbook was developed with the graduate and adult student in mind. We hope this resource will help guide you through your studies at Adelphi University. As no handbook can be completely comprehensive, follow the links for additional information and visit adelphi.edu for current details.

In addition to the Graduate and Adult Student Handbook, many graduate programs have specific handbooks or similar resources to guide you. A complete list of the contacts for Adelphi University graduate programs is included on the next few pages. Contact your graduate program for resources available to you.

For College of Professional and Continuing Studies (CPCS) students, there are also specific guidelines for your adult experience in this program. To assist adult students seeking to begin or complete their undergraduate degrees, CPCS offers personalized academic advising, an adult-friendly admissions process, and credit for work and experience. These services, plus high retention and graduation rates, are all hallmarks of the CPCS experience.

Additional information for all students is available in various Division of Student Affairs publications, particularly in the Guide to Student Life. Visit students.adelphi.edu/handbooks to access online copies of these publications. Academic information can be accessed at catalog.adelphi.edu.

ACADEMIC SERVICES AND RETENTIONNexus Building, Room 145 academic-services.adelphi.edu | Campus ext. 3150 Email: oasr@adelphi.edu Hours: Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Summer, winter break and when classes are not in session, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

The professional academic advising staff in the Office of Academic Services and Retention is committed to helping students craft a coherent educational plan that allows them to reach their academic goals and make timely progress toward completing their degrees. While upholding the integrity of the University’s academic standards, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their academic choices and decisions in preparation for their careers, for citizenship and for their future lives.

Core Values*

Consistent with the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA, 2017), the professional advising staff in the Office of Academic Services and Retention (OASR) has adopted the following core values:

Professionalism: Academic advisers act in accordance with the values of the profession of advising for the greater good of students, colleagues and the University community.

Integrity: Academic advisers act in accordance with ethical and professional practices. Advisers value honesty, transparency and accountability to the student, the institution and the advising profession.

Inclusivity: Academic advisers respect, engage and value a supportive culture for diverse populations through openness, acceptance and equity.

*Adapted from the NACADA Core Values (2017). Retrieved from nacada.ksu.edu/Resources/Pillars/CoreVal-ues.aspx.

Among OASR’s responsibilities are to:

• Provide students with advisement and work closely with faculty advisers.

• Help each student reach their academic and personal goals.

• Monitor academic standards and procedures.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENTAcademic AdvisersAcademic advising is central to the educational mission of Adelphi University. Advisement is a continuous process that begins with first-semester registration and culminates in graduation. It challenges and supports students as they examine, determine and achieve their educational goals and encourages students to take ownership of their intellectual journey.

While all students must have their schedule approved by their adviser before they can register, course selection is just one part of the advising process. Understanding how a student will develop as an educated person is an essential part of an adviser/advisee relationship.

For additional information, visit adelphi.edu/advise.

Graduate students should contact their academic department and meet with the adviser for guidance on course registration and requirements.

Students in the College of Professional and Continuing Studies (CPCS) who do not have an adviser should contact the CPCS office at 516.877.3412 or visit cpcs.adelphi.edu.

Undergraduate students must declare a major when they reach 60 credits. If you do not have an adviser and have declared a major, contact your major department.

For the name of your adviser, visit CLASS and open the My Adviser link. Contact your department for additional advisement information.

Alerts for Academics

The alert system is designed to help students seek out academic guidance during the semester before it gets too late. A professor can issue an alert at any time, and both the student and their adviser will be notified by email when a student receives an alert. It is important to note that alerts are designed to help identify students who are

10 having academic difficulty in their class and get them on the right track for success. The alerts do not appear on a student’s final transcript.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL ADVISEMENT AND FELLOWSHIPSprepare.adelphi.edu

The Office of Pre-Professional Advising and Fellowships provides support and individual advising for current students and recent graduates who are seeking admission to professional school beyond Adelphi in the areas of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, optometry, pharmaceutical studies, physical or occupational therapy, podiatry, and veterinary medicine.

A strong liberal arts and sciences education is the best preparation for professional careers, including law and medicine. Students contemplating or planning to pursue careers in law and the health professions can receive guidance from pre-professional advisers established for this purpose.

In addition, the office can assist in the application process for fellowships that require institutional support and can provide information and assistance on locating funding opportunities for post-Adelphi study.

In addition, the office has developed several early decision/joint degree programs with schools representing many of these professions that can provide an easier transition to specific graduate schools.

COURSE REGISTRATIONRegistration is the process by which the Office of the University Registrar certifies the enrollment of students in courses of study and verifies their right to use the University’s available services. To access registration information, and to register for courses, log in to ecampus.adelphi.edu and access CLASS via the Services tab.

The Directory of Classes can be found online. Click on the link for online course search to search for courses by semester. You can also go directly to adelphi.edu/course to access a course search.

There is a registration schedule according to the

number of credits earned. The Course Listing, Advising and Student Service (CLASS) system will allow you to select your courses and submit your registration at your appointed registration time. Important information regarding registration as well as graduate registration dates and times can be found at adelphi.edu/grad-reg.

For specific semester dates and deadlines, refer to the University’s academic calendar at adelphi.edu/calendar.

INDEPENDENT STUDYThe purpose of independent study is to pursue an academic interest not adequately covered by the regular course offerings. Students must register for independent study during the regular registration periods and never later than the last day to drop courses. Each College and School has separate requirements concerning independent study. Information concerning these requirements is listed by School. Independent study may not be taken pass/fail.

ACADEMIC PROCEDURESAdding CoursesStudents who wish to add a course to their program after they have processed their initial registration can add the course using the CLASS system until the deadlines stated on the academic calendar. Students are advised that there is a fee for adding courses and that there may be additional tuition charges.

Dropping CoursesStudents who wish to drop a course from their program after they have processed their initial registration can do so using the CLASS system until the deadlines stated on the academic calendar.

Students are advised that there is a fee for dropping courses. Dropped courses will not appear on the transcript. Students should be aware that their status as a full-time student will be affected by dropping courses if their resulting credit load is less than 12 credits. It may also affect their financial aid.

11Unfinished CourseworkThe designation I (Incomplete) will be issued when the student has not completed the course requirements by the end of the semester and has obtained permission from the instructor to take additional time to complete the coursework. The incomplete designation I may be used by instructors only if a student has been excused from the completion of course requirements because of illness or other exceptional, compelling circumstances. Students may have no more than 12 months after the end of the semester in which the grade was given to resolve incompletes. Unresolved incompletes convert to F’s after this time. This then becomes the final grade.

Withdrawing From CoursesWithdrawals from courses are possible after the deadline to drop courses but no later than the ninth week of the semester, the third week of a summer term or the second week of a one-month term. Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete an Action Request Form, obtain appropriate signatures of academic approval and process the form in the Office of the University Registrar by the deadlines stated in the academic calendar. Withdrawals from courses appear on the transcript as a W. Nonattendance in a course does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal from a course. The student’s failure to drop or withdraw properly from a course does not preclude the instructor from submitting a grade for the student on the basis of the work previously submitted.

Withdrawal for Medical ReasonsStudents requesting a withdrawal from the University because of medical reasons must submit the appropriate medical documentation and a letter requesting a medical withdrawal to the Office of Academic Services and Retention. This must be done during the semester for which the leave is requested. Students approved for Medical Withdrawal might have a credit posted to their account to be applied toward future semesters. All unused credit will be forfeited after one year of issuance and tuition and fee charges will not be refunded. Students who withdraw from the University for medical reasons will be dropped from all of their courses. Students wishing to return after a Medical Withdrawal must submit medical documentation clearing them for return to the Office of Academic Services and Retention. Adelphi University retains the right to obtain supplemental medical information.

For medical withdrawal instructions, visit academic-services.adelphi.edu/forms.

Medical withdrawal dates:

Fall 2019: November 11

Spring 2019: April 10

Any student requesting a medical withdrawal for the fall semester must have it submitted by November 12, 2018.

Academic PetitionsAcademic regulations are established by the University to maintain and enforce academic standards, and are rigorously adhered to. Petitions are requests for an exception to an academic rule or deadline, and are only granted under special and unique circumstances. Any student has the right to petition to waive a regulation. The University similarly has the right to disapprove any petition on the grounds that the circumstances are not compelling enough to warrant an exception to the established regulation.

After consulting with your adviser, you must file your petition with the dean of your school. Undeclared students should file through the College of Arts and Sciences. The request must be in writing and you must document the extraordinary circumstances that necessitate the petition. The dean may approve or deny the petition, after which it is forwarded to the Associate Provost for Student Success for a final decision. Any student petition for retroactive action must be submitted within one year.

For specific contact information of academic departments, visit adelphi.edu/petition.

Adelphi University Mentoring ProgramThe Adelphi University Mentoring Program was created to help ensure academic success. Open to all students at any phase of their undergraduate career, but ideally within their first year, the program was designed to help students of color, LGBTQ+ students, veteran students and students who may be the first in their families to attend college to fulfill their highest potential through academic, social and professional development with the guidance of a mentor. There is no GPA requirement and students qualify by being a current/active (fully registered and taking classes) undergraduate student. On a case-by-case basis and based on mentor availability, graduate students may participate as mentees. For next steps, which include an application and orientation/training, students should contact the director and trainer of student mentoring at adelphi.edu/mentoring or 516.877.3182.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCEfinancial-aid.adelphi.edu

All financial assistance awards are made based on the information available as of the date of the financial assistance award letter. Adjustments to a student’s financial assistance award may be made at the discretion of the Office of Student Financial Services. Some common reasons for adjustments to the financial aid budget are: changes in living arrangements (e.g., if the student moves from University housing to private housing) or changes in enrollment (e.g., enrolling part time when full time was originally indicated on the admissions application). Other reasons for changes to the financial aid package include receipt of documentation of incorrectly reported income and asset information, receipt of additional scholarships or grants from either outside sources or from the University, or any other changes in information that, in the opinion of the Office of Student Financial Services, justifies a change in the financial aid package.

The Office of Student Financial Services should be notified of any significant recent change to the family’s financial situation after the completion

of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if the student (or parents) believe it could affect the student’s eligibility for assistance.

Financial Assistance for College of Professional and Continuing Studies (CPCS) StudentsAdelphi University’s Office of Student Financial Services is committed to helping you find the resources you need to fund your studies, and our numbers show our dedication. CPCS students are uniquely eligible for several grants and scholarships. For more information, visit cpcs.adelphi.edu/aid.

Responsibilities of Financial Assistance Recipients Students receiving financial assistance have the following responsibilities:

• To complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year by the deadline prescribed by the University

• To meet the requirements of good academic standing and maintain satisfactory academic progress toward their degree

• If a student transfers from another institution to Adelphi University during the same award year, federal regulations require that we request through the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) updated information about any fall disbursements so that your spring disbursements are accurate and do not exceed federal guidelines. Your assistance package may change after review of your record on the NSLDS.

• To report to the Office of Student Financial Services any changes in enrollment status, changes of name or address, and receipt of any additional internal or external financial assistance

Financial Assistance Policies All financial assistance awards are made based on the information available as of the date of the financial assistance award letter. Adelphi reserves the right to adjust the financial assistance package if the student receives financial assistance from sources not specified in the award letter, either from Adelphi or from outside sources.

The Office of Student Financial Services should be notified of any significant change to the

26 family’s financial situation after the completion of the FAFSA if the student (or parents) believe it could affect the student’s eligibility for assistance. Adjustments to a student’s financial assistance award may be made at the discretion of the Office of Student Financial Services. Some common reasons for adjustments are changes in budgets and awards (e.g., if the student moves from University housing to private housing), changes in enrollment (e.g., enrolling part time when full time was originally indicated on the admissions application), documentation of incorrectly reported income and asset information, changes in family circumstances, receipt of outside or academic scholarships or any other changes in information that, in the opinion of the Office of Student Financial Services, justifies a change in the financial assistance awards.

Students receiving institutional scholarships that exceed the cost of tuition may be subject to federal income tax on the amount by which the award exceeds tuition. We recommend that students check with their tax consultant for further information.

Institutional scholarships and grants are applicable to tuition and, in some cases, University fees. The University reserves the right to adjust the financial assistance previously awarded when these awards, in combination with other sources of assistance, exceed the cost of tuition and fees. Awards include, but are not limited to, external awards and state scholarships and grants.

Nondegree Students Individuals registering for courses in the University without applying to the Office of University Admissions for degree status are considered nondegree students. The courses taken are considered to be for personal enrichment and the student is not eligible for any financial assistance.

Veteran Students For financial aid guidelines, see Veteran Services on page 31.

International Students Federal and state financial aid programs are limited to U.S. citizens and certain permanent resident aliens—persons with Forms I-151, I-551 (a green card) or I-94.

FAFSA Application Procedures Students applying for financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Applications should be completed online at fafsa.gov. Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) if they are eligible to directly import their federal tax information. Using the DRT makes the process faster and more accurate and may eliminate the need to provide tax documents if the record is selected for federal verification.

All New York State residents are encouraged to apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant. (Note: As of 2011, only undergraduate students are eligible for TAP.) Students will be presented with a link to the TAP application at the end of the FAFSA online. Follow this link to apply for TAP.

Application Deadlines Eligibility for financial assistance cannot be determined prior to the student’s acceptance into an eligible program of study at the University.

Students must apply for financial assistance each year. Applications for all financial assistance programs should be made by all new and continuing students as soon as possible after October 1 each year. The various federal and state aid programs have deadlines that extend throughout the academic year, but by filing as soon as possible after October 1, you will maximize your access to certain limited aid programs.

Continuing students should file by January 1 each year and new students by March 1 in their first year and by January 1 each year thereafter. Applications made after these dates will only be considered if funds remain available.

Please note: Any student selected for verification who has not completed the federal verification process cannot receive federal financial aid or need-based University grants.

First-time students at Adelphi must complete entrance counseling and the Master Promissory note at studentloans.gov before Federal Direct Loan funds can be applied to their account.

Academic Requirements to Maintain Financial Assistance Adelphi University, in compliance with federal and New York state regulations governing satisfactory academic progress, will review the records of all students who apply for financial

27assistance. Recipients of financial assistance must be in good academic standing and must be making satisfactory academic progress. Failure to meet the established various criteria governing federal, state or institutional assistance will result in the loss of that source of financial assistance. Details concerning established criteria are available in the Office of Academic Services and Retention and the Office of Student Financial Services, or visit financial-aid.adelphi.edu/faq.

If a student is officially withdrawing from the University, the W grades will not count in the GPA. Hours attempted constitute all courses for which a student registers, including courses in which grades of F, I and W are given. Credits earned include all courses in which grades of A, B, C, D or P are given. Students who do not make satisfactory progress because they have failed to earn the required ratio of credits attempted to credits completed, due to grades of W, F or I, are not eligible for financial assistance.

The federal criteria and New York State Tuition Assistance Program requirements may vary from the University criteria governing University aid. A chart detailing these requirements will be included with each financial aid award letter. Contact the Office of Student Financial Services for more specific information.

For information on paying your bill, visit financial-aid.adelphi.edu/bill.

VETERAN SERVICESLevermore Hall, Room 303 admissions.adelphi.edu/military 516.877.3411

Adelphi welcomes the opportunity to assist qualified veterans in their academic plans and preparations for the future. The University considers, on an individual basis, the needs, interests and purposes of veterans who desire higher education. The Post-9/11 G.I. Bill represents the largest expansion of education benefits to veterans since World War II. Eligible veterans can receive benefits to pay tuition, housing and textbook costs that could allow them to study at Adelphi for little to no cost. We’re a Yellow Ribbon school. Active, reserve and veteran military students using Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits or any other Veterans Affairs program benefits can apply and enroll in any of the associate, bachelor’s degree, credit certificate, master’s degree or doctoral programs across our eight schools.

This website, admissions.adelphi.edu/military/how-to-apply provides information on applying for veteran financial benefits. Reserve and veteran military students who enroll in undergraduate or graduate programs at Adelphi may be eligible to receive assistance from the VA to help pay for their tuition and fees. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will determine the student’s eligibility for assistance and the amount for which they are eligible. The current maximum award that a student may receive if they are determined by the VA to have 100 percent eligibility is $23,671.94 (2018–2019 award). Please note: The veteran’s eligibility for the Yellow Ribbon Program must be determined by the VA, and not all eligible students will receive the maximum award.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program), a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, allows private universities to enter into

31an agreement with the VA to provide additional assistance toward tuition and fees. Adelphi’s agreement with the VA is to contribute up to $2,500 per year which will be matched by the VA for a total additional assistance of up to $5,000. This additional assistance is calculated after all other forms of aid are deducted from tuition and fees. The total amount for which a student is eligible cannot exceed the cost of tuition plus university fees.

The College of Professional and Continuing Studies is coordinating Adelphi’s Yellow Ribbon Program participation. For more information, visit admissions.adelphi.edu/military or contact Christina Wease at cwease@adelphi.edu or 516.877.3411.

Regular office hoursMonday–Thursday, 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.mFriday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

About the DepartmentThe University Department of Public Safety and Transportation, located in Levermore Hall, Suite 113, provides public safety services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The department is led by an executive director and staffed with associate directors, managers, supervisors and officers, many of whom possess prior law enforcement experience. The department provides a variety of services, including patrol, crime prevention, transportation and parking. Jurisdiction is limited to the interior and the sidewalk perimeter of the Garden City campus and Parking Field 9 (Garden City pool), a noncampus location. Each of the off-campus centers provides security

only for the interior space that is leased by the University.

The Department of Public Safety and Transportation maintains a close working relationship with the Garden City, Hempstead, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Poughkeepsie and New York City police departments, all of which provide police services, including criminal investigation and emergency services. Although Adelphi public safety officers are not peace officers and therefore do not have authority to make arrests as such, they do provide crime-scene services pending the response of the law enforcement agency concerned. Officers have the authority to issue parking and moving violation summonses on campus, and have the authority to request identification of persons on campus. The University maintains a Memorandum of Understanding with the Garden City Police Department, which has geographical jurisdiction to investigate alleged criminal offenses that occur on the main campus in Garden City. The police department and Department of Public Safety have open lines of communication and continual interaction to ensure the safety of our campus environment and the surrounding communities.

Furthermore, the department has a close working relationship with members of the New York City Police Department’s first precinct, covering the Manhattan Center; the Suffolk County Police Department, covering the Hauppauge Center; and the Poughkeepsie Police Department, covering the Hudson Valley Center. Each department is contacted annually, or as needed, to ascertain whether any Clery crimes (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) occurred that impact reportable crimes. In addition, public safety maintains close relationships with other local and federal law enforcement authorities.

Campus Security and Fire Safety ReportAdelphi University’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report includes statistics for the previous three calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Adelphi University; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus.

Insurance health.adelphi.edu/insurance

Every registered student, undergraduate or graduate, has the option to purchase student health insurance at the beginning of their school year or in the event of qualifying circumstances. Students who do not have medical insurance coverage, or who are no longer covered under their parents’ insurance plan and wish to enroll in Adelphi’s plan, must do so by October 1 for the fall semester and March 1 for the spring semester. There is also an opportunity for dependents of insured students to purchase insurance coverage.

Do I have to purchase the Adelphi student health insurance?No. Only resident and international students are required to have health insurance. If you have proof of another policy, you can waive the school’s health insurance.

Important semester deadlines to waive student insurance:

• October 1, for students starting in the fall semester

• March 1, for students starting in the spring semester

The fall enrollment is a full-year policy. No refunds will be granted if the student remains for only half a semester and the policy remains in effect for the student for the full year.

All resident students and international students are automatically enrolled in the school health insurance policy, which is billed to the student account, unless proof of insurance has been provided and a waiver is completed. If students have their own insurance with comparable coverage and wish to waive the student health insurance, they must complete the online waiver at health.adelphi.edu/insurance. The deadline for waiving insurance for the fall semester is October 1; for new students in the spring, the deadline is March 1. There are no exceptions to the waiver deadline.

CAMPUS SUSTAINABILITY/RECYCLINGFeatured in The Princeton Review’s Guide to 399 Green Colleges, 2018, Adelphi makes sustainability a priority—from the solar panels installed on Swirbul Library to sharing compost with our neighbors in Garden City.

Water Filling StationsThere are more than 80 water bottle filling stations located in various buildings on the Garden City campus and additional systems at two of Adelphi’s off-site centers. Reduce plastic bottle consumption and waste from landfills—while saving money—by filling a reusable water bottle with chilled, filtered water.

In November of 2015, a million bottles had been filled in these systems. For information about Adelphi’s Project Water, which includes a map for all bottle filtration system locations, visit students.adelphi.edu/water.

RecyclingAdelphi recycles not only cans, bottles and paper, but also ensures that hazardous waste is not mixed with inert refuse. The University recycles all fluorescent light bulbs, batteries and computer equipment. Cardboard is also sorted into separate containers.

The University has also revised its construction standards to include recycling of all construction debris and the use of environmentally friendly materials whenever possible.

A laser toner recycling program for the administration is facilitated by Adelphi’s Mail Room and our printing services partner, AM Exclusive. Inkjet toner should be returned by individuals to the vendor using a prepaid label which is usually included in the original box. Inkjet printer toner cartridges are recycled in all residence halls and in many academic buildings throughout the campus.

The ability and freedom to teach, learn and develop depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, in the residence hall, elsewhere on campus and in the greater academic community. The University has developed procedures and policies to safeguard this process and to maintain an environment conducive to the learning process.

Adelphi University’s mission is to transform the lives of all students by creating a distinctive environment of intellectual rigor, research, creativity and deep community engagement. In alignment with its mission, Adelphi University is committed to creating an educational environment in which a variety of ideas can be reasonably proposed and critically examined. The University has developed procedures and policies to support its mission as well as each community member’s freedom of expression.

At the same time, the University has long recognized that the right to demonstrate does not include the right to engage in conduct that disrupts the University’s operations or endangers the safety of others.

Protocol for Student Complaints Concerning the Actions of Faculty MembersMembers of the Adelphi faculty are expected to meet the highest standards of the academy in all aspects of their professional conduct. These standards derive from many sources, including institutional policies, the rights and reasonable requirements of students, contractual agreements, the law and expectations of integrity. Adelphi University is responsible for fully and fairly addressing complaints concerning conduct by faculty while acting in the context of affiliation with the University.

Issues dealing with harassment should be dealt with under the University’s Anti-Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Policy. A reporting form is available at adelphi.edu/faculty-complaint.

Issues related to grades follow the procedures set forth in the Undergraduate and Graduate Bulletin and are included below:

Grades are submitted only by the instructor of the course. Any change of grade must be approved by that instructor. A grade may be changed only if there is unequivocal evidence that it was the result of computational or mechanical error. Students who believe their grades are incorrect or unfair should:

• Discuss their coursework with the instructor.

• Review with the course instructor the grading policies for the course.

• If still dissatisfied, disputes concerning grades should be brought to the chair of the department (if there is a chair).

• The chair may choose to discuss the matter with the instructor to try to resolve the issues.

• If still dissatisfied, or if there is no chair, students should bring their concerns to the assistant or associate dean of the school responsible for the course.

• The dean may choose to discuss the matter with the chair and/or the instructor to try to resolve the issues.

• If the issues remain unresolved, the student may request that the Office of Academic Services and Retention discuss the matter with the instructor.

• The associate provost may choose to discuss the matter with the dean.

If the chair, dean or provost concludes that a grade was a result of arbitrary or capricious conduct on the part of the instructor, the student may be allowed to withdraw from the course. In the case of arbitrary or capricious conduct, the department or school may allow the substitution of another course to replace the course in question.

All disputes concerning the accuracy of a grade must be raised within one calendar year. Grade changes must first be signed by the instructor and then by the department chair and the appropriate dean before being submitted to the registrar.

Student complaints of bias-related incidents against University employees (including faculty) are to be filed with the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.

Other complaints, not covered above, should be addressed as follows:

• Discuss with the faculty member concerned, if appropriate.

• If not appropriate or the student remains dissatisfied, the issue should be brought to the chair of the department (if there is a chair).

• If still dissatified, or if there is no chair, the issue should be brought to the assistant or associate dean of the school to which the faculty member belongs.

• If still dissatisfied, the issue should be brought to the dean of the school to which the faculty member belongs.

• If the issue remains unresolved, the student may request that the Office of Academic Services and Retention help resolve the matter.

Civil penalties for violation of this policy are set by New York State and local laws, and are enforced by the local departments of health. In addition, Adelphi University will discipline students and employees for violations of this policy in accordance with established procedures.

Reason for PolicySignificant health risks have been determined to be the result of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that tobacco smoke is a known carcinogen and is responsible for lung cancer as well as several other diseases in adults and children. Adelphi University has as one of its highest priorities the health and safety of students, faculty and staff, and believes that environmental considerations are part of the educational process. Our goal is to reduce the risk of exposure to potentially hazardous conditions.

EnforcementEmployees who are in violation of this policy will be informed that smoking is not permitted and that such action is punishable by a civil fine provided by applicable law and will be directed to a Smoking Permitted area. Upon the second offense, individuals will be reprimanded in writing, a copy of which will remain on file. Upon the third offense, disciplinary action may be more stringent, up to and including termination from employment, as decided by the appropriate University procedure. Any complaints concerning nonobservance of this policy should be directed to the Associate Vice President for Human Resources and Labor Relations, who is the official contact for the University with the local departments of health.

For students, complaints about smoking in residence halls should be directed to the resident

assistant or residence hall director in that building. Other complaints concerning students should be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards. Student sanctions range from a letter of warning to expulsion, including loss of University housing.

For the complete policy, visit adelphi.edu/smoking.

Speakers Policy for StudentsThe University seeks to offer a full, varied and balanced program of guest speakers that will result in a maximum exchange of ideas and opinions. As part of the educational process, students are encouraged to invite guest speakers to campus who can address an area of interest to the University community. Recognized student organizations may invite to Adelphi University any person(s) who, in its opinion, might contribute to the intellectual or cultural life of the University. Individual students wishing to invite a speaker to campus should seek the sponsorship of a recognized organization.

In order to derive maximum benefit from a guest speaker’s presence on campus, it is required for student organizations planning to host a speaker to consult with the Center for Student Involvement staff prior to extending a final invitation. Student organizations are also encouraged to consult with faculty in related fields of expertise.
